Directions
-
In a large pot or kettle, combine the chicken broth, diced chicken, milk, sliced carrots, celery, green pepper, chopped onion, minced garlic, and dried marjoram.
-
Season the mixture generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
-
Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until the carrots and celery are crisp-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
-
Add 6 ounces of uncooked egg noodles to the pot. Continue cooking until the noodles are almost done, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of flour until completely smooth and free of lumps.
-
Slowly stir the flour-milk mixture into the simmering soup. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the soup thickens to a creamy consistency.
-
Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter for richness and a glossy finish. Serve immediately.
